Ron Paul says f*ck you Mccain
well not in those words, but thats what he basically said.
WASHINGTON - Republican Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning Texas lawmaker who attracted a devoted following in the GOP primaries, said Wednesday he rejected an appeal to endorse John McCain's presidential bid.

Ron Paul would make a better candidate than McCain. He really had his **** together in his campaign. His economic policy of "cut as much spending as possible" and his libertarian social policies are what we need from the right now, more in line with the Teddy Roosevelt/Barry Goldwater than Reagan/Bush. Its good to see he's taking the high road and staying clear of endorsing McCain.
I must agree.
i do believe we all would have to agree here. but as far as the elections ill have to choose the lesser of the 2 evils instead of voting for someone that doesnt have a chance.
And thats a 'flaw' in our American system of thinking I believe. We think we always have to root for a winning team.
The notion that we should only vote for a candidate we think can win ensures the ones with the most political clout and $$ will always win....NOT those who are most qualified or have the best plan at a time when its needed.
If we think back Harry Truman did all of humanity a favor and saved millions of lives when he authorized the nuking of Japan. I doubt people would have considered him 'winable' for the presidency the first time, he was a replacment VP candidate and rode in on the Roosevelt name/ticket, yet he was the man for the job when crunch time came.
I wish ron paul won the republican nominee.. however, in that article i didn't see him giving an F U to either candidate.. he simply said they both sucked and we're voting for the lesser of two evils. He chose not to support mccain because he dislikes him just as much as obama, so no reason for him to throw his support behind either one. Which i agree with completely. Ron Paul was this only countries chance at a serious bounce back and now we're all ****ed.
Guys like Ron Paul need to be given more opportunities to voice their opinions. Guarantee you he would tear McCain and Obama apart in a debate. I mean he may have no shot at winning, but third party opinions like his need to be voiced to at least get the population to actually think. He would've had my vote, and now I'm left with two ****ty candidates that are forcing me to strongly consider not voting.
werd.....yet he stands no chance
-Super cool .gif TO UNBAN JITB, JM, Buttons AND NEMISIS here-
i dont think it is even possible to vote for him. hes off the ballot.
it would be awesome to see debates to include other parties the problem w/ this country is you have to hold a significant % of voters to do such. america is too dumb to ask for anything else Perot was probably the last chance for a long time to see a 3rd party in the debates.
wow have you NEVER voted before? lol
you can write him in. the more votes he gets the more funding he will receive for next election
